UK Independence Party

The UK Independence Party is a far-right nationalist party in the United Kingdom, formed on 3 September 1993 by British politicians who were against the UK's membership in the European Union. The group, a part of the "radical right", employed populism to gain the support of disaffected British citizens, with most of them being white Protestants who were racist against Indian, Chinese, and African immigrants. Some UKIP members were filmed using racist insults, with Nigel Farage claiming that a member of parliament was not fit to be in Parliament due to his Indian descent, a female member claiming that she did not like "negroes", and Farage also calling Chinese a racial insult. In 2015, the party gained the third-largest amount of votes in the parliamentary elections, and the party was one of the major forces in the UK's decision to leave the European Union in the summer of 2016.
